I was recently asked if I’m bilingual because of my Latino name. I am, well enough to travel, but I tell people at work no because I don’t want to be asked to leverage that skill FOR FREE.

That’s not why the company hired me, so those aren’t the skills they have access to. My Latino coworker understood but others did not.

Would you display and leverage additional skills at work for free? Are you asked to if you’re bilingual?

Really struggling with a few students in my kindergarten class this year and looking for suggestions. I've been teaching K for 10 of the 16 years I've been a teacher, and have never felt as disrespected by students as I do this year.

They are sent away from the group to reset and make a better choice, but usually continue when they return. Parent contact has been supportive, but hasn't helped.
